Chapter 235 Village 2

The village actually covers a large area, but the buildings are scattered. Only the central area has more buildings, and most of the other people are scattered in different places.

Because this place is far away from many human battles, the productivity is very low. Most people rely on hunting and fishing for a living. In addition, it is close to the ice field, and many foods cannot be grown.

So many people live in the original center of the village, which makes it easier to hunt for food.

However, there are jungles around, and there are many wild animals. The people in this village should not lack food too much.

Su Lun walked around the dark village twice. His werewolf form has a certain night vision, and he can see the surrounding situation in the dark. Moreover, he does not rely entirely on vision to find the target. The most important thing is his perception.

He did not find any special situation in the village, nor did he see elves or dark elves. Maybe the dark elves are not in this village.

Su Lun stood on the roof of a house and thought carefully. According to what he had seen before, the route taken by those dark elves led directly to this village, and the other party must have passed through this village.

It is very likely that those dark elves are not here, they may just pass by here.

However, even if they pass by, they will leave some traces. Su Lun thinks he can wait in this village for a while. If the dark elves continue to pass by here, they can be intercepted by the way.

It is still uncertain whether the dark elves are in the village. Su Lun checked the village again and returned to his house.

...

The next day, Su Lun came to the tavern in the village. There were all kinds of people gathered here, which was also the best channel for intelligence collection.

There were many people in the tavern. Most of the people in the tavern were from the village, and there were also a few outsiders.

Although this village is remote, it is not that no one comes here. There are always some people who like to run around, just like himself.

Su Lun shook his head. If it is not necessary, he will not run around.

He asked for a glass of ordinary rye in the tavern, sat aside and rested while listening to the conversations of those around him.

Because of the welcome ceremony yesterday, most people in the village knew his identity, so no one came to disturb him.

After a while, Su Lun drank the wine in his glass, but he did not get any useful information. The people drinking around him were talking about trivial things that did not need to be paid attention to.

Su Lun was about to leave when he found Cook coming.

Cook looked at Su Lun in surprise. He was obviously here to drink, holding a large wine glass in his hand.

"Your Excellency is also in this tavern. Although I have not been to taverns in other places, I can guarantee that the wine in this tavern is really good."

As Cook said this, his face turned slightly red because of drinking. He did not seem to be very good at drinking.

Su Lun nodded slightly. Judging from the quality of the wine, the wine in this tavern could not be brewed here. There was no such condition here. The only possibility was that it came here from outside through trade.

Thinking of this, Su Lun suddenly had an idea. He asked Cook: "Then do you know where these wines come from?"

If the wine in this tavern was shipped in from outside, the people responsible for the transportation were probably the dark elves.

Cook was a little more sober after hearing the question. He recalled and said: "Every once in a while, someone would come here to trade. We exchanged fur for their wine. Those people liked to cover their faces. I don't know where those people came from."

He didn't understand why Su Lun asked this. He had never left the village and knew basically nothing about the outside world.

Su Lun nodded. According to Cook, the people who transported the wine should be dark elves.

He continued to ask: "When do those people usually come to this village?"

He looked at Cook. Cook's face would not lie, at least not yet.

Cook shook his head and said: "Sometimes those people come often, sometimes they come only once in a long time, but they come more and more frequently recently."

Su Lun re-examined the tavern. Since those dark elves chose wine as a commodity for trade, there must be some useful information hidden in the tavern in this place.

He glanced at the tavern owner. The tavern owner was fat and always had a smile on his face. He was obviously a normal human being, not a dark elf.

Su Lun continued to order a glass of wine and sat in the tavern to chat with Cook, but Su Lun's attention was always on the tavern owner.

When the time was right, he pretended to be drunk and wandered around in the tavern to investigate the situation.

There was nothing wrong with the tavern on the surface. The only place that might have problems was the basement of the tavern.

The door to the tavern basement was locked, and the location of the door was quite secret. If Su Lun hadn't been paying attention to the tavern owner, he might not have been able to find the basement.

He returned to his seat, and now Cook had left.

"To enter the basement, you must get the key first, otherwise it is easy to attract other people's attention if you force your way in."

Su Lun thought to himself that it was very easy for him to pass through a door, but it was difficult to pass through a door without attracting attention.

He thought about it and could only wait until the evening, when he would have a chance to enter the tavern basement.

...

It was evening, and Su Lun was observing outside the tavern.

Now the guests of the tavern gradually left. When it was late at night, everyone in the tavern left and the tavern owner was about to close the door.

At this time, Su Lun used the darkness as a cover to transform into a werewolf and rushed into the tavern through the window without the tavern owner noticing.

"What is it?"

The tavern owner only saw a black shadow flash by, and when he looked carefully, he could not see anything at all.

"Is it the wind?"

He shook his head without thinking much, locked the door of the tavern and went to rest.

After a long time, Su Lun came out until the tavern owner fell asleep.

He walked to the bed where the tavern owner was resting, took out the key, opened the door of the basement, lit a candle and slowly walked towards the basement.

Just as he thought, this is indeed a basement, but this basement is a bit deep.

Su Lun walked for a while before reaching the depths.

He was very careful. There might be a mechanism here. It would be bad if the alarm was triggered and someone found it. However, when he reached the bottom, he found that he was overthinking. There was no mechanism trap here.

Su Lun observed the basement in the light of candles. There were huge wine barrels all around and the smell of wine was everywhere.
